FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University Police will expand its
weekly Tuesday test of the emergency campus siren on July 16, weather
permitting.
The weekly test is normally done at 12:25 p.m. on
Tuesdays, with a siren sounding and an announcement that “This is a test.” If
the weather is clear on July 16 UAPD will follow normal test with a test of the
actual tornado warning siren. The siren will sound for one minute, be silent
for thirty seconds, sound again for one minute, be silent for another thirty
seconds, then sound for one minute.
If the weather is stormy or in any way threatening, the
tornado siren test will be cancelled to avoid confusion.
